					<description><![CDATA[After further consultation with local officials, District Leadership Team, and after our Maintenance Staff diligently reviewed our buildings, the learning environment is not conducive for our students and staff to return tomorrow.  Hazardous, icy road conditions will still be an issue for buses and many sidewalks will continue to be iced over.  Several Maintenance staff walked campuses today and observed some HVAC units not working properly.  They will monitor schools this weekend to ensure we are ready to learn on Monday.  While we acknowledge that temperatures are expected to rise and some snow/ice will melt tomorrow, we remain concerned about areas with bridges and certain roads.  Temperatures are expected to freeze again sometime after dark which will recreate hazardous conditions.


The safety of our students and staff is our number one priority!  

Extracurricular activities are cancelled through Friday evening.  The Board Meeting has been rescheduled to Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 4:00pm.


Please stay safe and warm.  See you Monday morning!!!

Hunter Nolen
Superintendent 
Jackson County School District]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The 2022-2023 ESE Parent Survey window is now open! Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) surveys parents of children with an individual educational plan (IEP) to determine how well districts and schools are partnering with parents and promoting parent involvement in their child’s education. All states must collect these data for reporting on their State Performance Plan, as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Additionally, survey results will be used to help schools and districts improve services and results for children with disabilities.

The survey is open to all parents of children with an IEP receiving ESE services from preschool age through grade 12. While demographic information must be collected in compliance with federal requirements, individual responses are confidential. Beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, the survey will only be offered in web-based format at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ESEParentSurvey.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We had all hoped we would begin this year with a more normal start. Unfortunately, with the recent rise in COVID, that is not going to be the case this year. With that in mind, the following decisions have been made:
 
•	Open Houses will continue as planned. Please SOCIAL DISTANCE while on the campus and, especially if not vaccinated, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE the wearing of masks.
 
•	For now, school campuses will be closed to all but essential visitors as was last year.  We understand how important it is for many parents to take their child the first day of school and we will not limit parents from coming, however, after this, visitors will only be allowed for essential meetings.  We apologize for not being able to open our schools to visitors and volunteers at this time. We hope in the weeks or months ahead we will be able to relax this but we feel it is important to try to limit contact as best as possible during these first few weeks and until COVID is on the decline again.]]></description>
